In the Sky News programme, 'Sophy Ridge on Sunday' he stated, "I think the odd kind of focus upon my faith over the last few weeks is one that I think millions of people will just think is very peculiar.
"I'm one of millions of people in this country who has a faith - some Christian, some not Christian - and the majority probably with no faith whatsoever.
"My job is to fight for the rights of all of those people."
Mr Farron listed concerns over schools and Brexit and added that "I think people think it's bizarre that journalists and others spend their time banging on about someone's faith."
Ms Ridge denied she was "banging on about your faith" but said, "I'm just asking you a very straight question about whether you think abortion is wrong?"
Mr Farron replied: "You are, you are Sophy. I've answered it, which is I'm a liberal, I protect and defend people's rights to make those choices.
In the interview with the Liberal Democrat leader was asked five times to outline his stance on abortion, including being asked twice if he believes it is "wrong",
Mr Farron said repeatedly that he believed women should have access to abortion which is "legal and safe".
He declared this as his long-term view after a previous interview with a Salvation Army publication emerged in which he reportedly said "abortion is wrong".
"I believe abortion should be safe, legally accessible. That's what I believed then, that's what I believe now."
